Internatinal Desk, 23 May 2025 : Harvard University has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration in response to a ban on international student admissions. The lawsuit was filed on Friday, May 23, 2025, in a federal court in Massachusetts. Harvard claims that the ban disrupts its educational operations and violates legal standards.
The university stated that the Trump administration’s policy, which prohibits international student admissions and mandates current international students to transfer to other institutions, infringes upon the First Amendment rights of the U.S. Constitution. Harvard argues that the ban is a retaliatory measure for its refusal to comply with government demands, including handing over student disciplinary records and canceling equity-based programs.
The ban was issued under the direction of U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. Harvard is now seeking a temporary injunction against the restriction. The institution emphasized that the ban severely hampers its educational activities, necessitating urgent relief.
Harvard’s lawsuit highlights that the administration’s actions are a response to the university’s non-compliance with certain government demands, which it views as an overreach of authority. The case underscores ongoing tensions between the university and the Trump administration.
